Checking to see if anyone has any experience with the Conn 82H? There is very little info on Conn Loyalist, the interwebs in general, or the forum about the horn. I have run across a 7.5 inch bell, straight, TIS model that seems interesting. It appears to have also come in 8 and 8.5 inch bell versions and maybe even with an F attachment based on what little I found. .522 bore. Wasn't manufactured for very long, which always makes me wonder.

I like mine. 82h is to 78h like a cornet is to a trumpet.
Used it here

Thanks! After playing a little I think that is an apt analogy. Gets a really nice mellow sound. I can't seem to get it to break up no matter how hard I push it. It seems like it would be a good small ensemble horn and clearly for lighter jazz stuff like what you played (very nice, BTW!).
Not sure yet if it's going to be a keeper or not...

Aside, nice playing, great sound, and love the clarity of the recording as well.
Cheers,

At one time I had the 80H with the F-attachment. Satin silver, 8" bell, 0.522" bore with TIS and the particular one that I owned had the optional tuning slide to put the attachment in Eb instead of F. Remarkably I soon found a nice 82H (also satin silver) to pair with the 80H slide. Based on the S/N's both horns were built in 1923. I think I ended up selling everything as a set on eBay.
